Can you die from restless legs syndrome?
RLS is connected to heart disease, diabetes, drowsy driving. Years of constant sleep deprivation can cause actual brain damage, depression, and many other things. So, while RLS can not by itself kill you, many things associated with it and other sleep disorders can be and ARE deadly.
What waves does REM sleep have?
When awake, most people exhibit beta waves , the highest in frequency and lowest in amplitude, They are desynchronousthat is, the waves are not very consistent in their pattern. When relaxed most people exhibit alpha waves, which are slower, increase in amplitude and become more synchronous. The first stage of sleep is characterized by theta waves, which are even slower in frequency and greater in amplitude than alpha waves. Stages 1 and 2 are relatively "light" stages of sleep. A sleeper passes from the theta waves of stage 1 and 2, to the delta waves of stage 3 and 4. Delta waves are the slowest and highest amplitude brain waves. This is the deepest stage of the sleep cycle.
The next stage is REM sleep, a sleepers brain waves demonstrate characteristics that are similar to waking sleep, a combination of alpha, beta, and desynchronous waves. This is the stage of sleep most associated with dreaming.
In a normal night's sleep, a sleeper begins in stage 1, moves down through the stages, to stage 4, then back up through the stages, with the exception that stage 1 is replaced by REM, then the sleeper goes back down through the stages again. One cycle, from stage 1 to REM takes approximately ninety minutes. This cycle is repeated throughout the night, with the length of REM periods increasing, and the length of delta sleep decreasing, until during the last few cycles there is no delta sleep at all.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) or Willis-Ekbom disease is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations.[1] It most commonly affects the legs, but can affect the arms, torso, and even phantom limbs.[2] Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief.
RLS sensations could be pain, an aching, an itching or tickling in the muscles, like "an itch you can't scratch" or an unpleasant "tickle that won't stop", or even a "crawling" feeling. The sensations typically begin or intensify during quiet wakefulness, such as when relaxing, reading, studying, or trying to sleep.[3] In addition, most individuals with RLS have limb jerking during sleep, which is an objective physiologic marker of the disorder and is associated with sleep disruption.[4] Some controversy surrounds the marketing of drug treatments for RLS. It is a "spectrum" disease with some people experiencing only a minor annoyance and others experiencing major disruption of sleep and significant impairments in quality of life
Because we didn't go to sleep on time and your body needs at lest 8 hours of sleep so if you go to sleep at 9:00 you would have more time to sleep or its just because your teacher is boring like mine
nebooskieehh ;*
What medications can make restless legs syndrome worse?
These include anti-nausea drugs such as Antivert, Atarax, Compazine and Phenergan. Calcium channel blockers that are often used to treat heart conditions should be avoided. In addition, most anti-depressants tend to exacerbate symptoms.
What will people do if they can't sleep?
There are a variety of methods one can try if one can't sleep at night. One of the oldest methods is a glass of warm milk before bedtime. Some choose to use a sleep aid, either OTC or prescribed. One of the basic things one can try first is to try and destress from a busy day before going to sleep.
Watching movies or drink warm beverages usually do the trick ;) but next time maybe three hours before bed, exercise.. By the time you do to bed you will be tired. Also stretch before bed so you don't get any sore muscles in the morning.
What happens if you go to sleep too late?

Can you sprain your ankle when you are sleeping?
If you fell out of the bed in an awkward position or were sleep walking, yes, you could. The odds are very unlikely, however.
yes. you can most definitely sprain your ankle when you are sleeping. you can stretch in your sleep and stretch the ligaments to much. this however would not swell that much or even swell at all, but it will bruise and it will hurt very bad! i suggest staying off it for 3-4 weeks. if you have to go to work or to school instead of going to the ER and them telling you to just walk it off, or going to the doctors and them telling you the same thing, or having to wait a week for an appointment, just borrow some crutches from a friend or buy some at a drugstore. the same with a brace. get one that will keep your ankle in place while walking around and also when asleep. go to a local drugstore. some are great and at a low price. sprains also do not show up in x-rays, so the hospital and doctors appointments might just be a waist of your time as well as the doctor's time too, and also a missed day of work or school that could have been avoided. hope this helps.

Normal Saline should not be used in the humidifier of your CPAP machine. Only distilled water should be used.

If you have further questions regarding this, you should speak with your physician or respiratory therapist.
What are the advantages of sleep?
"Deep sleep offers many benefits. Primarily it allows your body to rest and recoup, and improves your psychological state. In order for the sub conscience to work things out it requires a regular amount of REM (rapid eye movement), which is the 5th stage of sleep, and generally happens 4 to 5 times through the night."
Where does REM sleep occur in sleep cycle?
The longest REM cycle occurs in the early morning hours. This is why it's easier to lucid dream on weekends, longer hours of sleep in the morning.
Is trouble sleeping a side effect of Wellbutrin?
Very common side-effect of Wellbutrin. Discuss with your physician and they can prescribe you something to take in the evening. Also, you do not want to take Wellbutrin after 4pm at the latest. I take wb in the day and xanax before bed.
Why do I wake up feeling weak?
Because your muscles do not really move when you are sleeping. They then become numb. Therefore when you wake up your hands are weak.
